Hi there just a quick note to introduce myself. My name's Andy, I'm 43 fron Northampton in the UK.

I first encountered Hobbits in 1978 When I read The Hobbit. My next encounter was many years later in the mid 80's when a Computer game on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum got me interested enough to read LoTR for the 1st time. I've since read it 2 more times.

Anyway, I now have a new job as a Lorry driver for a large supermarket which involves loads of sitting in my cab waiting to be unloaded/loaded so I have taken up reading again after a short hiatus of 10 years where I only read from the Internet, shame on me!!

I've Just finished Azimov's "I robot" and am about to embark on the HoMe series starting with Book of Lost tales part one.

That's enough waffling from me, Catch you all on the forums sometime in the future, most likely in the reading room!!
